Running a Server

Dedicated Server

SimpleRadio

Installing

Check out the Simple Radio Standalone page for details of how to install it. Note that you don't need to run the autoinstall to run the server.

Configuration

Changing the ports: Open server.cfg and change the SERVER_PORT to the lower of the two ports to open. Two ports are open, and they're contiguous starting from the port set. So if you set port 2000, then ports 2000 and 2001 will need to be opened. See the Official Documentation for more info.

AutoExec.cfg

This file should go in the C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS[.openbeta]\Config directory. This is a template with comments:

if not net then net = {} end -- prevent nil
net.download_speed = 1024*1024*256 -- Set download speed
net.upload_speed = 1024*1024*256 -- Set upload speed.
options.graphics.maxfps = 30 -- Max FPS, we don't need high fps so limit it.
options.graphics.render3D = false -- We don't need the graphics engine for a server.
options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 0 -- Don't need high quality on screenshots.
crash_report_mode = "silent" -- Capture report logs, but don't block the process from closing.
disable_write_track = true -- We don't need to store tracks on the server
